Lu Yan is now sitting quietly in the study of her luxury villa in the center of Paris, the spacious space is sunny, and the warm light spills into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing this poor peasant girl a comfort and tranquility that she has never had.
After going through ups and downs, she has entered the peak of her career, and now she is a highly regarded "supermodel godmother" and has her own unique fashion brand. However, in such a quiet and peaceful moment, the thoughts in her mind involuntarily retrace to that past time full of pain and firm choice.
Born in a lonely village in De'an, Jiangxi Province, Lu Yan spent her childhood in a humble hair salon in her hometown, with a very meager family income, with a total monthly income of only 600 yuan.
However, it was this difficult environment that shaped her tenacity, diligence and simplicity, and her father often taught her to study hard and not be afraid of difficulties.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people, and the arrival of adolescence has brought Lu Yan a deeper inferiority complex. Her round face, small eyes, and flat nose, coupled with her astonishing height of 1.78 meters, make her introverted more likely to be ridiculed by her peers, and even directly called "Ugly Monster".
Lu Yan knows that there is a huge gap between her appearance and the mainstream aesthetics, and her heart is full of endless grievances and anger, but more than that, she has deep inferiority complex and loneliness. She began to habitually walk with her head down, as if to avoid the world that mocked her mercilessly.
As a result, academic performance has plummeted, and the once optimistic and cheerful have disappeared without a trace, replaced by a total denial of their own worth.
However, just when Lu Yan was about to give up on herself completely, a turn of fate quietly came. With the encouragement of her parents, she bravely signed up for a modeling training class, only to be unexpectedly discovered by a teacher at the modeling college next door.
Despite failing to participate in the fashion show in Beijing for the first time, Lu Yan regained her confidence in the process and decided to go all out to become a good model.
In the face of the doubts and contempt of her compatriots, she inspired an incomparable fighting spirit and vowed to use her own strength to change the aesthetics of the world.
Recalling the past, Lu Yan's eyes flashed with moving tears, and she deeply experienced the depth and value of life. She has found the strength of self-affirmation and will no longer be bound by low self-esteem.
All of this changed because of the decision she made decisively back then.
Now that she is already a leader in the field of modeling, why envy or regret it? She looks forward to seeing her son grow into an outstanding talent, and she will surely inspire him with her own experience.
Just when Lu Yan was full of enthusiasm for the future, the god of fate also stretched out his warm hands to her. One day in 1999, Lu Yan stepped into the model interview scene of a well-known clothing magazine in Beijing with a tentative heart.
She thought it was just an ordinary attempt, but this opportunity completely turned her life path upside down.
When Lu Yan walked into the interview venue, she saw a kind and kind middle-aged lady, her smile was as warm as a spring breeze. Lu Yan was secretly happy in her heart, glad that she had met such a friendly examiner, maybe this interview would bring unexpected surprises.
However, in the face of the sudden situation, Lu Yan felt a little overwhelmed, and even began to wonder if she had strayed into some mysterious organization. Just as she was hesitating and considering whether she should leave, the famous makeup artist Li Dongtian suddenly appeared, and he examined Lu Yan's face with admiration, which was "marked by the beauty of God".
It turned out that Li Dongtian and the lady were attracted by Lu Yan's unique beauty, and they firmly believed that she was born to be the embodiment of art, and she was the top model who could best show her international style.
In order to give Lu Yan a stage to show her talent, Li Dongtian decided to accept her without hesitation, and put her photographic work "Rouge Marry" on outdoor billboards.
The photo instantly caused a stir on the bustling Wangfujing Street, with people praising the idea of "Freckles and Lilies" and some questioning that it might be a third-rate model hired due to lack of funds.
Despite some skepticism, the event managed to spread the word about Lu Yan's name and put the entire fashion world in the spotlight.
What is even more worthy of our in-depth discussion is that one day, two talent scouts from the French metropolitan modeling agency happened to meet Lu Yan in the lobby of a five-star hotel in Beijing, the capital of China.
They were deeply attracted by the unique beauty of this girl from the Oriental world, and did not hesitate to step forward to express to Lu Yan their strong desire to explore her development in Paris.
Although Lu Yan's spoken English is limited to the scratch of what she has learned in nine years of compulsory education, she did not hesitate in the face of such a rare opportunity, but relied on her endless yearning for a better life and keen intuition, and decisively accepted this challenging invitation.
Although Li Dongtian initially had some doubts about this matter, after confirming the identity of the other party, he still resolutely decided to let Lu Yan go to Paris, the fashion capital, to pursue his own dream.
So, in June 2000, Lu Yan embarked on a flight to Paris with endless hope and firm belief for the future. Although there will be countless difficulties and dangers that await her ahead, there is a powerful force behind her: in that once poor and backward small county, she has tasted the hardships of life, and if she cannot realize her dream in Paris, then her only destination is to return to the desperate life of the past.
When Lu Yan arrived in Paris, she was immediately caught up in the troubles of culture shock. This world-renowned romantic capital is a completely new territory that is both strange and mysterious for a country girl with almost zero English skills.
At the beginning, the agency arranged a translator for her, but it didn't take long for the translator to disappear, and Lu Yan had to face all this alone again.
As a foreigner through and through, she could not communicate well with others in Paris, and could only communicate her thoughts through gestures like a deaf person.
In addition, how to solve the problem of food and clothing has also become a major problem for her. Unable to adapt to the local food culture and unable to understand the text on the product labels, Lu Yan had to buy some simple foods that could be used around the world, such as eggs.
After eating eggs continuously for more than a month, Lu Yan felt that her physical condition was deteriorating. She often recalls being ridiculed for her fashion show in Beijing, with tears in her eyes but powerless to refute it.
In a foreign country, despite the persistent pursuit of modeling dreams and the pressure of practical difficulties, she has always adhered to that unyielding belief and is always ready to meet challenges.
However, whenever she thinks of that poor and backward hometown, Lu Yan always has a strong sense of responsibility, regains her determination, and devotes herself to the modeling career in Paris without hesitation.
During the day, she travels around the various model interview venues, and at night she returns to a humble rental house and devotes herself to learning French. Despite encountering numerous setbacks and failures, Lu Yan never had the slightest intention of backing down.
She firmly believes that she has a unique temperament that cannot be matched by others, and as long as she maintains the qualities of humility, diligence and optimism, she will eventually win the respect and praise of the world.
Finally, after unremitting efforts and hard work, Lu Yan got the due reward. As soon as her unusual beauty was discovered, she immediately became a rising star in the French fashion scene.
In November 2000, the world's largest model contest was held in Beijing, and as an outstanding representative of Chinese models, Lu Yan confidently stepped on this once controversial stage again.
At the competition site, top models from all over the world were gathered, and a tense atmosphere permeated every corner. Only Lu Yan has always maintained a calm and calm attitude, as if this is the source of her self-confidence.
In the end, she won the unanimous praise of the judges with her outstanding performance and won the highest honor of the runner-up.
When standing in the center of the stage, surrounded by countless bright lights, the excitement in Lu Yan's heart was indescribable. After making a name for herself in the international fashion industry, Lu Yan returned to her homeland with trepidation and anticipation, and participated in the World Supermodel Contest held in Beijing in 2000.
As a representative of Chinese models, she knows that her unique appearance may seem a little "alternative" in the eyes of the domestic public, which will inevitably cause controversy and doubts. However, it is precisely this unique temperament that makes her show extraordinary influence on the international stage.
At the beginning of the competition, beautiful women from all over the world gathered in Beijing, and there was a strong atmosphere of competition in the venue. However, Lu Yan is alone and calm, and in her opinion, her unique appearance is where her unique charm lies, and it is also where she is proud of her talent.
True to its name! With her outstanding strength, Lu Yan effortlessly won the unanimous praise of the judges and won the honor of the runner-up of the competition. This remarkable honor not only indicates that she has become one of the world's top supermodels, but also shows her confidence and tenacity in the face of adversity.
In the past, Lu Yan was still the village girl who was ridiculed as "ugly", and in the difficult living environment and the ridicule of others, she gradually developed a deep sense of inferiority.
However, now, she, a girl from a poor background, has bloomed dazzling in the center of the bright stage, interpreting the profound connotation of great beauty without words with her unique beauty.
The victory in this battle undoubtedly greatly stimulated Lu Yan's enthusiasm and fighting spirit for the cause. Since then, she has frequently been active on the stage of major fashion festivals at home and abroad, becoming the undisputed "China's chief supermodel", and various endorsement activities have also come one after another.
It is with this unyielding fighting spirit that Lv Yan finally stood out and became the godmother of the trend-setting supermodel, and was respected by industry insiders as "the leader of China's first generation of supermodels".
Although her career has climbed to the pinnacle of her life, Lu Yan's pursuit of happiness has never stopped. After years of struggle, she finally reaped the glory of her own career, and at the same time began to look forward to having the same luck and perfection in life.
At this time, the appearance of a nobleman from France opened a new page in Lu Yan's life.
In a completely unexpected chance encounter, Lu Yan collided with this mysterious French gentleman and collided with a spark of passion. His cold and distant gesture caught her attention, which in turn ignited a renewed desire to conquer in her heart.
After half a year of unremitting efforts, Lu Yan finally succeeded in capturing this arrogant man and winning his true heart, and just like that, the goddess of fate smiled at her again, and the two embarked on a new journey in life hand in hand after they met.
After achieving great success in her career, Lu Yan began to yearn for the same luck and perfection in life. After years of struggle, she finally reaped the glory of her own career, and at the same time looked forward to finding sincere love and living a life of being cared for like a princess.
At this critical moment, the god of fate once again selflessly showed Lu Yan its kindness. In an extremely fortuitous encounter, Lu Yan collided with a mysterious and elegant French aristocratic man and collided with a strong flame of love.
Although the other party has always maintained an indifferent and reserved posture and turned a blind eye to the enthusiastic pursuit of Lu Yan, a hot supermodel, it was this rare noble temperament that deeply attracted Lu Yan's attention.
As a strong woman who aspires to achieve brilliant achievements in her career, Lu Yan has developed a strong curiosity and desire to conquer this French gentleman. She decided to do her best to win the favor of the other party, and bravely took the initiative to approach and pursue.
After half a year of unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in impressing this proud man, and the two concluded a deep friendship.
After marriage, the French husband doted on Lu Yan again and again with his unique romantic feelings, allowing her to deeply experience the happiness of "being spoiled as a princess". One day, he suddenly called and asked Lu Yan to pack her luggage within half an hour, although Lu Yan was confused about it, she still agreed without hesitation.
Half an hour later, when she walked out of the house, she saw her husband waiting for her next to the car. It turned out that it was carefully planned for them to leave for Mexico for a sweet newlywed trip.
This journey full of surprises and excitement began without warning. For Lu Yan, after entering this French aristocratic family, life is like being in a royal palace, luxurious and comfortable, and she has become a much-loved princess.
She couldn't hide the joy and satisfaction in her heart, she was once just a poor and poor girl, but now she has stood at the peak of her life. This happiness is not easy to come by, and Lu Yan is deeply grateful to her husband for his deep love for her and all the luck she has encountered in her life.
Soon after marriage, she ushered in another grand event in her life - pregnancy and childbirth.
In 2012, Lu Yan happily announced the good news that she had conceived the crystallization of love for her husband, and since then she has opened a new chapter in her life.
Faced with the advent of her son, Lu Yan felt unprecedented happiness and pride. She secretly decided that she must use her own personal experience to carefully teach this child, so that he can understand that the world is not always beautiful, and only by hard work and sweat can he win a life that truly belongs to him.
